Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter, cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add ice water a tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Shape the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced plums with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

Step 7

Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 8

Transfer the dough to the pie plate, pressing it gently to fit the bottom and sides.

Step 9

Pour the plum mixture into the dough-lined pie plate.

Step 10

Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the plum filling.

Step 11

Trim the edges, fold them under, and crimp them to seal.

Step 12

Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 13

Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 14

Bake for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 15

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
